Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for optimizing energy management of an energy resource site. For instance, a hierarchical energy management system can provide optimized management of energy resource sites with large numbers of energy resources. In particular, the hierarchical energy management system can effectively control energy resources by allocating functionality using different tiers. For instance, one or more energy resources devices can comprise the lowest tier of the hierarchical energy management system. The next tier of the hierarchical energy management system can comprise one or more controllers that can manage the energy resource devices. The next tier of the hierarchical energy management system, a resource manager, generally manages the set of controllers.
